This was really good and I liked to fact that you incorporated a symbolism in it; especially the apple which appears in many such works of literacy.
One suggestion I could make is to replace some words to create better imagery.
like "Only to have my eyes pried open"
And I really like the line: "and her battle was lost"
so maybe you can incorporate that in the second to last line: "a constant reminder of my surrender" to tie it all back in..
but that's just all my opinion and whatever you do, the poem is already really good.
